Just Tripping Along The Freakazoid

apparently, someone told me, the little poetic waxing the gas attendant did was based on something George Carlin has done. Since I do not really watch Mr. Carlin (but he was funny as shit in the very good movie Dogma) I did not catch that - so i will say Mr. Carlin, that is one weird way to classify people and I still wonder which I fall into (I would tend to go with the middle one :)

I stopped for gas this morning and was treated to a philosophy of the type of people there are in the world. In NJ it is against the law to pump your own gas - all gas stations are full serve and an attendant has to pump. So the normal procedure is pull in tell the person who comes up what you want - watch as they disappear once again, sit there while it fills and eventually they come back and give you a reciept and then you are on your way. Well this morning the attendant I guess was bored, or in a mood or who knows but he stands by my window and starts talking and engaging in conversation. As he continues on he informs me there are really only three types of people Stupid People Fucking Nutty People Full of Shit People. Then he continues that the stupid people you may encounter a 100 a day for instance. F-nuts people maybe 30 and the Full of shit people last a lifetime. He then proceeded to notice the parking sticker I have on my car for a college I teach at. And the questions fo...

Okay this weekend I learned a hard lesson I am a truly spacey blonde -Kathy knows what I am talking about and I am too embarrassed to ever reveal the details - like shame, stupid, embarrassed but I had the confirmation Friday that I spaz out on things just like Dory from Finding Nemo - siiiggghhhh But Friday was a baaaaaaddddd day - had depressing news, spazed and did the bad blonde thing thus messing something up and then was just mopey blech all around. In an effort to distract my thoughts from certain things on Saturday - I took back up the rollers and paintbrushes and attacked another wall - this time on of the hallway walls - the very high walls - the okay shit that did not work and now I must figure out how to finish certain parts walls. But it was a nice sense of accomplishment to get another basic wall done - yes it looks totally unprofessional (like I am a professional painter) but shit I do not care. If I ever hook up with someone and they care, then I'll care, till ...

so where is my mood today - not where I wish it would be but then I'm not where I wish i could be (I need to find someone to go chasing cars with me - who's with me?)- I'll see if I can elaborate more later - it's been a long, too full of too much thinking week - I think I'll wait until i've got the activity I have planned for tonight under my belt - then that should be a hoot of an entry to read if not too toasted to type properly... Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol We'll do it all Everything On our own We don't need Anything Or anyone If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just look at the world? I don't quite know How to say How I feel Those three words I said too much They're not enough If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just look at the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads I need your gr...

Sisters What an incredibly wonderful, awesome, frustrating, pain in my butt, going to slap you silly, best thing to happen to me, concept. Do you treat a person differently if she is a sister? No matter what, I think just the concept of brother, sister, relation, colors a person's perspective at some level - even the most unbiased person I think somewhere at some subconscious or conscious level is affected by the word sister or brother when dealing with people. I am one of four sisters. If you look at us, you find many interesting similarities and many, many, many (last one said with huge sigh and what am I going to do tone) many differences. I am the eldest of four girls in terms of birthdate. I am the shortest. I have the smallest family, my sisters all have two or three kids each. I have the most education (well education as defined only in terms of going to academic institutions - education comes in all forms and I would be foolish to think in certain areas I am well-educated -...

Good Start To A Day Ok the one McDonald's server is one heckuva classic chick, lady, person. I often stop in the morning to get a milk and an Ice tea (I hate milk but it is good for you and I end up not eating the rest of the day so milk is good to tide me over). I do not drink coffee but fresh brewed, unsweetened ice tea with lemon (sugar and fountain and bottle stuff is crap) is something I drink probably too much of (I am an ice tea snob and yes it needs to be fresh brewed and unsweetened). But I usually order that in the morning and often get this one person - the staff knows me at the McDonald's pretty well. So today I pull up to the drive thru and she just says come around - I am laughing and go ok and pull around. She hands out the tea and milk and I go to pay and she is like "It's on me today." I am like um sure? And she is yup. So classy lady you made my day because that was way cool - I had a classy lady buy me a tea and milk in a sense - lol Today ...

Attended the retirement dinner for my boss last night. I will miss my boss. She was a very cool boss and really knew how to get things done. I also hope the new person coming in does not decide to restructure the department in any way that would mean I have no job - I hate having to go from year to year and wondering if I will get a contract or not - but then in a way everyone goes through that possibility. The thing is if it happens you do what my boss was doing last night, look back on the past with a sense of accomplishment and wow i made it through that, think excitedly about the future and try not to think about what the hell do I do now :-)

Pretty average weekend thus far and not too much planned for tomorrow to alter from that view. Watched the original Reefer Madness Friday - a friend recommended the updated version but I have not been able to get a hold of that. Many of the video stores here I checked out do not carry it. The one Blockbuster that has the case out has not had the movie out for ever and does not do holds. And Suncoast could not order it - I really wanna see that. Saturday walked the boardwalk in the morning and then hung around home and did some basic chores - started organizing some stuff and may even continue the organizing mood big time tomorrow (Sunday) - I am in a get rid of things mode right now cause of where my mind is regarding certain things (yes mind is in the dumps about a certain issue) - so not sure if that is a good or bad time to organize... kinda like you should not go to the grocery store when hungry although I often tend to do that anyways Sunday (tomorrow - well today) planning on ...

Being alone can be freeing, idyllic, tranquill, bold, a treasure Being alone can be depressing, desolate, painful, scary, a curse I like being alone I hate being alone I really hate being lonely

Had a good time last night. Headed up to Asbury Park. Was going to the Wonder Bar to see Lez Zeppelin. I like the changes at the bar. It use to be the mile long bar and then a huge dark place with a good stage in the corner. They added some tables and chairs and have a larger kitchen menu. Their pizza was good and cheap. The traffic up was not bad at all (I think the cool and rainy weather was one reason - cool wow in the 60s and 70s here). But I got there early so I walked their very small boradwalk and stopped in an arcade. The boardwalk is small and like the rest of the seafront illustrates the changing face and dilapidation of a great sea town but it goes on (a cue people could take) They had a Sopranos pinball game, which I had never played. so I played a few games (won 2). I found the game cool although very violent.... of course the one ramp you would shoot every time the ball rounded the top, there were two little poles with two dancers that would swivel around doing...
